The World's Most Polite and Rude Cities

I am not in the least bit surprised, although I am proud. I like my native New York better all the time. One of the good things about being here and growing up here is the array of other-nationals we come into contact with from all over the world. Multiculturalism is our suit, as a result, and I am sorry to say that Asians have fallen from my list of favorite contacts--East Asians and Indians--from my dealings with them recently, which coincides with the list this article speaks of. I was thinking to myself that this is indeed the Year of the Pig, as the behavior I have been experiencing in Asian (and Indian) restaurants exemplifies. They have all been acting in a very piggish manner, to my dismay. As for the headline about Mumbai's cooking (the former Bombay), I disagree... They burn out bacteria with their spices, but one's epithelial cells, as well.
